Welcome to the family.
I too have a 95' 900s, I've owned it for a year now and the only problem i've had at all with it is about two weeks ago the alternator died. From what i've seen on these bb's the alternators on 95-98 ane know to go bad more often than they should (someone correct me if i'm wrong), that and the fact that I have a 1400 watt stereo hooked up pretty much sealed it's fate.
As far as things to look out for the most common things I hear of is the idler pullies go bad, and the back brake pads (inner) tend to get stuck to the caliper (away from the rotor).
It's also rumored that the 5spd trannys don't tolerate speed shifting. So if you think your swede is an indy car (um, that would be me) take your time shifting.
happy saabing
(If I have conveyed any false info let me know so I can shut-up)
